Well I just had to read the comments, and I am still wiping the tears from my eyes, I haven’t had such a good laugh for ages, some of them want locking up!Some people are really getting nervous, since the K20D is almost hitting 1000.
A good laugh is found Here.
Mind you at my local camera club the camera makes were dominantly Canon and Nikon users, including me I was talked into a Nikon D80, after using a Pentax DS (exchanged by Pentax after-sales for my faulty 35mm *1st ) there was more swear words over the D80 a horrible camera to use and at the time the D200 was so expensive, I managed to get hold of a K10, and that was it, suited me!
So all the Nikon gear was sold, lesson learnt.
Now there are 5 members using Pentax digital cameras K100 up, It just shows that not all people buy for the “label”.
My be Pentax will bring out the “high end” camera that is rumoured , and may be my pension will be raised by 50%, one of those two will not happen, I wonder which one?

Hi I had the "super" version with my Nikon camera,Basically in performance not a lot, but with the lcd on the back you have more control overall, but for the average user some thing that is not used much.

I will just leave that to you youngsters and i will just use my K20,that is heavy enough with a grip and a Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 on the front as you get older you just want an easy life, i have done the hard work in the past.
True it makes one lazy but what the hell, us oldies want a rest

Wants..tell me about it. The 300* is my most wanted. I have the 50-200mm but I need to go to 300. Idealy the 70-300 is mostly wasted. Better for me would be the 100-300. The lottery gave me £10 last Saturday..needed another two 00's and I would have been on to SRS pronto. If you didn't have your dreams, life would be a sad plaace to be.

I have used the Sigma 70-300APO with some very good results, have a look at my portfolio, even one of the macro shots was done on the "macro" setting.
That is the reason I will be selling my 50-200mm and one or two other lenses.
I'm going to be in my back garden today to see if i can get one or two Bird shots, tit family and just maybe one of the hawks (Sparrow and Goss) but they are so fast
especially the Gosshawk it just shoots through tiny gaps in the trees,still keep trying
